Abandoned cars

[a1veedubber]

Does anyone else here love finding derelict abandoned vehicles, then taking pictures of them??? I do & thought I would share a few:

First off: Last October, Nations Bridge state park north of Stuart IA.

1949 or 50 Oldsmobile:

An original 67 Firebird rests on it's haunches outside a local bodyshop.......hopefully awaiting a tasteful resto:

A late 40's Ford Panel sits on a trailer in Stuart IA. Been sitting on that trailer a while too.......:

The last one for today is for you truckers:

A trio of (Mid 1970's???) GMC COEs await their fate. The lot these are is was full of old cars until recently, many have been hauled off to the crusher's. How long until we buy these back as cheaply built Chinese crap??? (not long I guess!):

Well, I am leaving for the weekend (Ive moved to Pleasant Hill, but still stay at the old house on weekends for work) and will leave you with this....the Oldsmobile's companion in the ravine.

A 1955 Mercury that is almost completely buried in the hill!:

Matt, those are GREAT pics. Both the Skylark T-Type and the blue 1967 Firebird would make excellent project cars. Any chance either is for sale?

Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. :) These cars were built to last for sure!

The most weird thing I've ever seen in terms of abandonment was this dried up river with a 1938 or 1939 Ford Truck right in the middle. It was under the water this whole time. It was still solid when I saw it. (It has since been taken from the site) That would have been a cool story to tell... "Oh yeah, while it's all restored and pretty now, it once was in a river for 60 or so years..."
